Details about the two workshops being offered can be found below.
Recruiting and Retaining Scholars of Color
Thursday, October 26 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
This workshop provides financial contexts, testimonies, and strategies to help institutional leaders recruit and retain scholars of color across the pipeline from graduate students through senior faculty.
It identifies surprisingly common pitfalls that can not only encourage students and faculty to accept other offers, but also cause costly and long-term reputational damage to departments and institutions.
Who it’s for: Academic Deans, Department Chairs, and Directors of Graduate Programs
To express your interest in participating in this workshop, please submit the required information on this form no later than October 16: https://forms.office.com/r/U0PyvmnTyh
Getting to Your Goals: Much More than Mentorship
Friday, October 27 from 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Participants in this workshop compose a professional “board of advisors” that can help advance their career goals in more specific, less stressful, and more successful ways than the conventional singular mentor model ever could.
Attendees identify the specific elements of support and input they need at this juncture of their careers and identify people who can fill those roles. They reflect on how to create reciprocal relationships, identify what their potential board members can do most easily, and discuss how to identify and approach those on their list. This workshop is particularly fruitful when paired with the session on mission statements.
Who it’s for: While the workshop is composed with early and mid-career faculty in mind, senior scholars and administrative leaders often find it incredibly helpful.
